This is almost certainly an Allis Chalmers B. In the early 1930s Allis Chalmers did research that indicated that most tractors were used on farms over 100 acres, yet most farms were under 100 acres. So --- they introduced this, the "B", in 1937, aimed straight at the small farm.
It initially had a 113 ci Waukesha, used in only the first 94 built. Next it was given an Allis Chalmers engine of 116.1 ci, which was used until 1943. This tractor, manufactured in 1951 (serial #B116159), used the third engine, a 125.2 ci 4 cylinder unit producing 19.51 hp at the drawbar and 22.25 at the belt. It weighs just under 4,200 pounds and puts the power to the ground through a 3 speed transmission.
